My Ride: 2004 BMW 530i - no mods. Pretty basic really. I mean it has tires, windows, and a sweet look, what more could a man want? Honestly, I'd like to improve the sound system mildly, and possibly find a worthy engine mod that would increase my BHP by 100 without giving an arm and a leg for. I don't think it's out there, so I'll stay stock and love driving my 530i.

I was looking on eBay for some wheels for the E60 530i. Figured if I have to get new tires I might as well consider some wheels. In my search I stumbled across this: eBay listing

What are your thoughts on these kinds of wheels. Seem cheap to me, and I'm a believer of get what you pay for. Anyone know anything about this company, the wheels, anything?

Ive bought from Wheels and Caps before. They sell pretty decent replicas that are built to OEM standards. There are threads that talk about vibration in some of the replica wheels, esp. as you go to the 19s and higher.. But I've had no trouble with my 18s and they were really well worth the $
